  • error message: file format not supported for import

    Me again,
    trying to import files from the attic. I made a copy onto the desk top, but when I drag the items from the other bin folder, there is this error message : “file format not supported for import”

    How come?

    If it’s a bin file, you can add the extension AVB to the file and Avid will recognize it as a bin. To be clear, you open bin files by using the “open bin” command… you don’t import them into the Avid.

    In fact… you don’t even have to add the extension to open bins.
